| CREED OF THE AMATEUR | | |
The work that I have done has been done for amateur sport, and I hope that you won't mind if I leave you with my creed on amateurism.
Amateurism, after all, must be the backbone of all sport, golf or otherwise. In my mind an amateur is one who competes in a sport for the joy of playing, for the companionship it affords, for health-giving exercise, and for relaxation from more serious matters. As a part of this light hearted approach to the game, he accepts cheerfully all adverse breaks. Is considerate of his opponent, plays the game fairly and squarely in accordance with the rules, maintains self-control, and strives to do his best, not in order to win, but rather as a test of his own skill and ability. These are his only interests, and, in them, material considerations have no part. The returns which amateur sport will bring to those who play it in this spirit are greater than those any money can possibly buy. -- Richard S. Tufts, Pinehurst |
| PET INSURANCE | |
 Here's an issue where you can argue either side of the fence.
On the one hand pet insurance is cheap compared to having to go out of pocket to pay for a serious injury or condition. On the other hand, if you have insurance but never need to tap into it, you can feel as though you have overpaid.
Here's a link to a recent article John Thomas posted that reviews the pros and cons. |
| NEW STUD DOG REPORTS | |
Check out the two new Stud Dog Reports. Reports are automatically updated for the first year with each week's results. To order, send us an email.
Shadow was a tremendously successful dog both on and off the field. He has sired any number of talented pups. Among them is the litter with FC-AFC Chena River Wild Lady that produced five titled dogs (out of eight in competition). Also of note is a litter with FC-AFC Watermark's Mardi Gras that produced three titled dogs (out of five in competition).
Pike is another talented dog. He sired FC Pike's Peak of Castlebay MH, FC-AFC Castlebay's Wren Dell, and AFC Tanks But No Tanks among many others. |
